Opeth - Orchid - Red - VINYL LP

There are few bands that can, or will, match Sweden's Opeth. Since forming in the tiny Stockholm suburb of Bandhagen in 1990, they have eclipsed convention, defiantly crushed the odds, and crafted 12 stunningly beautiful, intrinsically intense albums to become one of the best bands on the planet. They have received massive critical acclaim for their combination of progressive influences and annihilating Swedish death metal. A must-have for fans and collectors alike, these 140g LP reissues, in a variety of colors, have been loving remaster by none-other than Jens Bogren (Opeth, Katatonia, Amorphis, Sepultura), with the guidance from Opeth frontman, Mikael Åkerfeldt. The have been cut at half-speed at the infamous Abbey Rd studios by Miles Showell (ABBA, Beatles), and artwork was carefully restored by Dan Capp; designed how the band originally intended.

The second album from six-piece Kopecky, Drug for the Modern Age takes the many shake-ups the band's endured over the past few years and turns them into inspiration for groove-driven, melody-heavy alt-pop that's intensely emotional and strangely exhilarating. InchThe album was written in this weird time of so much pain but also happiness, and that really informed the writing and recording,Inch says vocalist/guitarist Gabe Simon, who co-founded the group with vocalist/keyboardist Kelsey Kopecky in 2007. InchOur goal was to talk about all these very serious things we were dealing with, but in a way that felt nothing like wallowing and more like standing triumphantly, or even dancing our way through it.Inch
